For the 2023-24 academic year, the government initially decided to fill these posts externally, sparking legal action from the previously hired teachers. The court subsequently ordered that prior teachers be reinstated on a contractual basis pending a final decision on the case. This ruling has enabled the reappointment of 836 teachers, ensuring that tribal students will benefit from both sports and academic training and facilitating their eligibility for a 5% reservation in government jobs with an additional 25 marks for qualifications.
